Like snow, mist and low cloud give a quick makeover to landscape sometimes flattering to deceive. I've noticed a number of photographs online showing parts of the Dark Peak District moors and edges in temperature inversion conditions. Up above the sun is shining while the cloud below obscures the lower slopes and valleys giving a sense of mystery to land which has very little of the unexpected for most of the time. Snow is the great transformer of course and everyone knows that sense of craving for old familiar things radically altered. Blacka has its mystery at all times of course, provided by the trees and wilder rampant growth of shrubs from heather and bilberry to bracken and scrub. So a touch of atmospheric effects enhances the magic that is already there. 
In the morning the sun broke through briefly only to allow the clouds to return. By mid-afternoon the sun reserved itself to the highest grassy slopes where cows and sheep, not completely stupid, enjoyed themselves in the calm and the warmth. A pity that Thistle Hill is now once again claiming a change of name to Sheepsh*t Hill.
